As 10 the choice of this monument Of
LAFAYETTE understand that the commission
were aided in their selection of 10 boy two of
the most eminent artists IN the country, who
were also friends Of Bartholdi There is no
doubt but the committee have made tAe best
selection Of the models presented, and that
they have secured an extraordinary work Of
art at a very low price. The reputation Of
the two artists, Mn Falguiore and Mercic,
is very high in Paris. and no better comment
upon the choice Of their model can be made
than is found in a letter which the sculptor.
Daniel C. French, who by the way was ON
of the competitors for the work, wrote from
Europe to one of the commission. lie writes:

a Partisan Spell of weather."

! suppose Paris has never had a ''spell
of weather. equal to that of the last few
weeks. Dark, cold, dismal, forbidding,
sickly, wet, throat destroying, grippe in
spring. We are paying, perhaps, for
the most glorious, warm, bright summer
in the annals of the almanac maker. To
me it is especially cherries, coming up
as l did from the glorious weather and
the cloudless skies of AK, which is a
''beaker full of the warm south" and 1
Immediately took the Paris grippe, my
only comfort being that 1 was in the
height of the fashion, every one else
having it as well, or as i'll.
l think the French language is especi-
ally eloquent in phrases which express
this complaint. "Phthisie pulmonaire,''
sounds like a sneeze; ''inflammations
aigues'' reads very shivery; ''catarrhe
~pulmonaire" expresses that affreuse
maladie much better han our simple
phrase, and 1 take great pleasure in read
ing the statement of my feelings in the
etiquette of my 'Sirop Lenitif Pectoral."
''Des affections des poumons'' are nor
interesting than could be the affections of
Paul and Virginia. "Les divers pheno-
menes que presentent ces maladies"
sounds much more dignified than ''symp-
TOMS" and SO the eloquent and dramatic
French tongue has been of infinite solace
tho more so that an utter ''extinction
de voix'' has prevented me from using
my own.-Mrs. John Sherwood in New
York World.

Visitors to California from the English
downs that face the sea for hundreds of
miles have often expressed their surprise
that our strong winds are not more fully
utilized as a motive power. One of the
largest of these motors is used for driving

four sails, which are 40 feet 0 inches
long by 10 feet G inches wide, and ex-
tend 100 feet from point to point. With
n wind of twenty-five miles an hour, the
windmill has fifty-five horse power, and
will easily make 100 barrels of flour in
twenty-four hours. The building con-
